Cornersville BoMa Meeting February
TRACY HARRIS
Staff Writer

The Town of Cornersville held a Public Hearing and regular meeting on Thursday, Feb. 6, 2025. The public hearing was brief with only one citizen comment, an inquiry about the Public Notice. The notice included a property map in the newspaper and was on the town’s website, with the notice of the public hearing. According to Mark Tolf, the notice was posted incorrectly and the parcel at 138 S. Main St. did not include the 125-year-old house on that property. Tolf called into question what map the town used if a home that old was not listed.

❄️ Evening Winter Weather Update – SNOW ON WEDNESDAY MORNING ❄️

The National Weather Service has issued a WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY for our area, with 1-2 inches of snow expected late Tuesday night into Wednesday morning.

Timing of Snowfall:

🌨 Snow begins: Between midnight and 3 AM Wednesday
🌨 Light snow continues: Until 6-9 AM Wednesday
🌨 Total accumulation: 1-2 inches

While a few sleet pellets may mix in, I expect this to be mostly snow for our area. One uncertainty has been dry air, but our 1-2 inch forecast accounts for that possibility.

What This Means for Travel:

🚗 Slippery roads are likely Wednesday morning, especially on secondary roads.
🚗 Some icy spots may linger into Thursday and Friday, especially in shaded areas.
🚗 If you must travel, use caution!

Bitter Cold to Follow:

🥶 Lows: Single digits to teens Wednesday–Friday nights
🥶 Highs: Struggling to reach freezing before Friday

Remember the 3 P’s!

✔ People – Dress in warm layers and check on neighbors.
✔ Pipes – Protect exposed pipes from freezing.
✔ Pets – Bring them inside or provide warm shelter.

School Closures:
I do not make school closing decisions, but if I hear of closures for any of our four public school districts (Bedford/Coffee counties), I will post updates. Otherwise, assume school is open as usual.

Stay safe, stay warm, and I’ll keep you updated! Have a great Monday evening! ❄️

“The Maestro” and his music ministry: Mr. Arnold Emmit Quarles, II

By DeShawn Mason Ewing and Stephanie Mason White
Edited by Patty Blackburn

The word “maestro” is an honorable title of respect given to teachers of music. Mr. Quarles made music his calling and used this art form to make a difference in so many young lives. Mr. Arnold Emmit Quarles, II is a 1960 Langston University graduate, graduating Magna Cum Laude. He began his teaching career here in Marshall County’s only black high school– Jones High School in 1960. After schools were integrated, he became the chorus and band director at Marshall County High School.

Who will be The Marshall County Post’s “Face of the Week?” It could be you!

02/17/2025

Here is a look at first-call snowfall totals from the National Weather Service. They have 1 to 2 inches of snow for our area, which is basically in line with my forecast of 0.5 to 2 inches.

Overnight data has come into better agreement that this will likely be an all-snow event for us.
BUT, I want to caution on something different i’m watching now. If you read my post last night, then you know I mentioned the potential for dry air to impact snowfall totals. A few models started showing a pocket of dry air a few thousand feet above the surface, which would greatly cut back on potential totals for everyone. - This is something worth keeping an eye on in my opinion, because we’ve had snow forecasts before bust pretty hard due to dry air that wasn’t well-forecasted.

This DOES NOT look like a slam-dunk snow event for us. We will get some snow, but how much is still in question thanks to the continued uncertainty due to dry air and the exact track of the transition zone. This is a fast moving event, so we’ll need heavy snowfall rates if we want anything more than 2 inches. Travel impacts still look possible, but this will be highly dependent on the rate of the snowfall since ground temperatures will be well above freezing as snow begins to fall.

Continue to stay tuned for updates on this challenging forecast! Have a great Monday!
